Healthy cooking

Healthy cooking doesn’t mean that you have to become a gourmet chef that invests in expensive cooking. You can use basic cooking techniques to prepare healthy food.

You probably face such frustration, when you are cooking the food. It looks good but not healthy. And it affects your health.

For coming out of this you have to learn some techniques which will help you in making a nutritious food.

Once you have mastered, use all the techniques whenever you are preparing food.

The methods described here best capture the flavor and retain the nutrients in your food without adding excessive amount of fat or salt.

Spices and herbs

Use of herbs and spices is one of the best ways to add color, taste and aroma to food. Use the fresh herbs instead of wilted. Add dried herbs in the earlier stages of cooking and fresh herbs in the end of cooking.

Roasting

We roast the foods in the high temperature, and it uses an oven's dry heat to cook food. You can also use baking sheets and roasting pan to roast foods.

Stir- frying

Stir-frying quickly cooks small, uniform-sized pieces of food while they're rapidly stirred in a large nonstick frying fan.

Baking

We bake breads and deserts, but you can also bake seafood, vegetable, poultry and fruit pieces of the same size. Place food in a pan or dish surrounded by the hot, dry air of your oven. You may cook the food covered or uncovered.

Grilling and Boiling

When we grill outdoors, place the food on a grill rack above a bed of charcoal embers or gas-heated rocks. Grilling and boiling needs fairly thin pieces of food to direct heat. When we grilled small items, use a long-handled grill baskets, it prevents pieces from slipping through the rack.
